>Eastern Europe having a Khan day

You know that guy was from Mongolia, right?

And that he went through a lot of places before he reached Eastern Europe?

Columbus was a piece of shit, but just because Columbus wasn't the first arrival here doesn't mean he didn't "discover" it.

Newton discovered the law of gravity, but that shit existed beforehand too.
Good point.

Does Germany have a national Hitler day? Or Russia a Stalin day? How about Eastern Europe having a Khan day?

No, they don't. Because some men don't deserve to be celebrated.
That's a rather vast difference.

I never said we should apologize, in fact I specifically said that in one post. I simply said we should remember it as it happened. Learn to understand the points I am making please.
We do. I don't understand what the problem is here, then.

Colombus himself didn't even kill anyone.

It's not like we have a General Custer Memorial day.
Oh I know. He just brought disease over and they died from it, right? You can't exactly help that.

I just really hate the pity parade circle jerk for Native Americans
Considering based Andrew Jackson (Trail of Tears, and who for some reason is on the $20 bill when he hated the National Bank. Talk about irony) and "Manifest Destiny" were two things that essentially drove the Natives away and slaughtered them? Yeah I think it's pretty bad. They honestly DESERVE some pity, and while I'm not here going "it's da white mans fault now! Be ashamed!!!", I think we should all be aware of the tragedies and misdeeds our ancestors did.

It's really crazy how we basically almost wiped an entire culture off the face of the map by killing, and forcefully relocating them. There is no positive spin on it by saying "well we culturally uplifted them" or "they weren't going places anyway".
It's important to note that the history of Native Americans post-"discovery" is not a story of death and decline, but rather of perseverance
I suppose that's looking at it half full, but it's still a morbid topic none the less. I just think trying to put a positive spin on their death and forceful removal is nothing shy of trying to cover up the misdeeds that happened. You're seeing the same thing try to happen in history books in America with slavery.

has anyone in this thread actually met a native american or been on a reservation?
"HAVE YOU MET ONE, BRO?! NO? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW!"

That's a pretty shitty standpoint.
 
Part of my family on my mothers side are natives who are in touch with their roots.
yeah they're shitty people who enjoy living just like they did 500 years ago

they have no intention to modernize or integrate
You can't really believe that.
I've heard it from several Natives I met at various powwows I've been to. The last time I visited my friend's relatives that live on a reservation in New Mexico with him they think that exact same and its quite visible if you visit any reservation.
Are you forgetting the fact that these reservations are insanely deprived of resources and poor as hell? What else CAN they do? It's also odd how meeting a few of them represents the entire race of them.

Were you there? Did you participate?
I say "we" as in WE as American's should be aware of our past and our history and not try to over glorify everything. You know the whole saying "those who don't know history" blah blah. As a history nerd, I feel you should always strive to tell the truth about events that happened, be it good or bad.

Almost all of NATO

If you fuckers want the US to stop playing world police, start picking up the slack and taking care of yourselves so it doesn't have to.

America doesn't meet Europe's standard of living because it spends so goddamn much money pumping up it's muscles to watch out for you pasty fucks.

If every NATO member actually met the spending minimum they fucking agreed to there'd be no need for us to stress so much.

Instead America acts as the bodyguard of Europe while retarded socialists shit all over us.
I'd say America does it because after World War 2 it was a super power, and after the Cold War it was the ONLY super power. Why give up something you had?

Let's be real here, America's military is like a nuke. It's just one big giant deterrent for other countries really. Well, other first world countries.

America and Britain are the only ones who seem to give a fuck about military honestly.

But keep in mind that WW2 scared a lot of Europe from a big military, and Russia wouldn't dare invade lol. All of those countries united would spell the end of Russia.

And honestly, you give Russia's military too much credit. They're trying to upgrade their military, yes, but their economy is still crippled and it would take years upon years to reach the US's power level in tech.

Yeah, Bards aren't high DPS's. They're good in Raids with 8 people or more, but with 4? 2 of them is just trouble. 1 isn't really viable either.

So we weren't killing the things we needed to in time and it was getting late and I had to do other things so I said screw it and got off.

I just finished it about an hour ago though. I really think I need to do a different class.
how is tank DPS in that game? in WOW tanks do the most damage up until like levels 70-80 and then theyre still competitive with most legit DPS classes up through endgame.

i just cant imagine having to quit a WOW dungeon because we had like, two Arms Warriors or something. do Bards not have any subclasses to give them more specialization when they're potentially with other bards in a raid?
One tank is better for defense, the other for attack. As for the variants that the expansion brought in, I can't say for certain. One of them suffers from an identity crisis through apparently and seems to bounce between the two.

And no, Bards ARE the subclass. The original class is Archer. They can do damage but you only want 1, since it's a support DPS. Our other DPS quit so we had another. For 4 players, 2 being support DPS and the other 2 being healer/tank, you're not gonna get through a bit where it's time sensitive.

all I know about the dark ages is that the europoors stole a bunch of books from the muslims and then they left the dark ages
heres all you need to know about the "dark ages"- its a fucking myth
but my collapse of Rome, Barbarians, and religious repression.
The name and effect is overrated I think because it implies the whole world was dark But the fact that all of Western Europe wasn't in a shit hole? That's just not true. A lot of engineering feats, technology, basic hygiene, common sense, etc.

All of that was lost and honestly the engineering feats are only recently being broken (i'm talking decades/centuries, not like 10 years ago).

Fun fact: Rome at its height had more intricate and working road systems than the modern day US Highway system.

He's right, sorry not sorry.


Although his timing and choice of words is really poor.
yknow just because it was said by Ben Franklin doesn't make it immune from being wrong in the most basic of situations right?

because that statement is objectively wrong in an innumerable amount of situations

oh wait im sorry
because he used the words "essential tm liberty"
that means he meant what you think is essential, even if it defies rational boundaries
Not even that, but the things he's mentioned being taken away have already happened in a post 9/11 America anyway, so to suddenly use it like it's all of the sudden about to happen is stupid.

It happened on October 26th (holy fuck my birthday) 2001 with the Patriot Act.
